Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 159 / Tuesday, August 18, 2015 / Notices
• an old-to-new crosswalk covering
the entire old GRS;
• six FAQ documents (general; about
the GRS update project; about the
impact of the new GRS on agencies;
about agency options for deviating from
the GRS; about notification to NARA
regarding using previously approved
agency schedules in lieu of a new GRS;
and about flexible dispositions attached
to many new GRS items); and
• a checklist for implementing the
new GRS, to assist agencies in
completing all the actions this
transmittal requires.
What changes has NARA made to the
GRS with this transmittal?
GRS Transmittal 24 publishes five
new schedules:
GRS 2.5 Employee Separation Records
(DAA–GRS–2014–0004)
GRS 2.8 Employee Ethics Records
(DAA–GRS–2014–0005)
GRS 4.1 Records Management Records
(DAA–GRS–2013–0002)
GRS 4.2 Information Access and
Protection Records (DAA–GRS–2013–
0007; DAA–GRS–2015–0002)
GRS 6.2 Federal Advisory Committee
Records (DAA–GRS–2015–0001)
These schedules replace portions of
old GRS 1, 2, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21, 23, 24,
25, 26, and 27.
The most obvious changes are in
format:
Schedule Numbers
Old GRS: Simple succession: 1, 2, 3, etc.
New GRS: Decimal: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.
Item Numbers
Old GRS: Alpha-numeric hierarchy,
for instance 1a1, 1a2, 2a1a, 2a2b.
New GRS: Three digits, for instance
010, 020, 030. Closely related items
sharing some description in common
are numbered in immediate succession,
such as 030, 031, 032, etc.
Layout
Old GRS: Narrative paragraphs. Read
‘‘down’’ to go from records description
to disposition.
New GRS: Table. Read ‘‘across’’ to go
from records description to records
disposition.
Subject index
Old GRS: Index, last updated in 2008,
is not thorough, and mainly useful to
paper format.
New GRS: No index. Citations to new
GRS items are not included in the
current index, which will be phased out
over time. Search for key words in pdf
file instead.
Because we are phasing in the entire
change from old to new GRS gradually
over five years, the GRS during this
interim period will necessarily include
both old and new formats. New
schedules (decimal numbers, table
format) come first in the new
transmittal, followed by the old
schedules (‘‘straight’’ numbers, narrative
format) annotated to show which items
are still current and which have been
superseded by new schedules. With
GRS Transmittal 24, we have
superseded 37 percent of the old GRS by
new schedules.
Which GRS items does GRS
Transmittal 24 supersede?
New GRS items supersede many old
GRS items. A few old items, however,
have outlived their usefulness and
cannot be cross-walked to new items.
Therefore, we rescinded these items by
GRS Transmittal 23. The FAQs for the
new schedules to which rescinded items
are most closely related provide
explanations of why we rescinded the
items.

How do I cite new GRS items?
When you send records to a Federal
Records Center for storage, you should
cite the records’ legal authority—the
‘‘DAA’’ number—in the ‘‘Disposition
Authority’’ column of the table. For
informal purposes, please include
schedule and item number. For
example, ‘‘DAA–GRS–2013–0001–0004
(GRS 4.3, item 020).’’
Do I have to take any action to
implement these GRS changes?
NARA regulations (36 CFR
1226.12(a)) require agencies to

disseminate GRS changes within six
months of receipt.
Per 36 CFR 1227.12(a)(1), you must
follow GRS dispositions that state they
must be followed without exception.
Per 36 CFR 1227.12(a)(3), if you have
an existing schedule that differs from a
new GRS item that does not require
being followed without exception, and
you wish to continue using your agencyspecific authority rather than the GRS
authority, you must notify NARA within
120 days of the date of this transmittal.
If you do not have an already existing
agency-specific authority but wish to
apply a retention period that differs
from that specified in the GRS, you
must create a records schedule in the

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Take, Import into the USA. The
applicant plans to study the tissue
specific dive response of Weddell seals,
looking at nitric oxide regulation. The
study’s broad objective is to better
understand the natural adaptations that
allow Weddell seals to control their
cardiovascular system and tolerate
extreme hypoxia during dives. Up to 38
Weddell seals would be temporary
restrained for sample collection and
morphological measurement. In
addition, the applicant plans to salvage
parts of dead animals encountered.
